    This is a interesting trick, but if i can offer 1 change that would make it even better. Real chemical reactions, acid based especially, smoke, and the smoke is usually dangerous, In the particular of stainless and nitric acid, the liquid turns much more black, with the brown color being the smoke, if you can figure out how to make it smoke, even if its just normal white water vapor type smoke, and of course play up the danger of the smoke, it would sell the trick 100 fold. Great trick though, and you did really sell it.

    I think it might work better if you proved that the acid bottle contains acid first, and I would add respiratory protection as well. Not necessarily to make the magic better, but to lead by example on using the correct equipment when handling dangerous chemicals. Fun trick though and great performance!

    The spoon could be real, except it has an easily breakable part on the handle. It's the small amount of stuff BEHIND the spoon that did the trick. Notice how the back of the spoon reacted first and how she did not show us the whole - especially the back - of the spoon.

    The spoon is made from gallium, it melts in warm water. It can even melt on a warm hand and its safe, unlike Mercury. So, they were all filled with warm water and a gallium spoon with some fizz on the back (Alka-Seltzer), along with some food colouring.

Notice at the end when he mentions Teller's "idea?" He says it was a "pouch on a string." He also mentioned that there was a prop serving double duty. And she grabbed the pendant right before the last stage of the trick "for protection." I think it had a small capsule or pouch of some chemical she could drop in the water with the spoon.

    So... uh.. there are a few problems. a) Nitiric acid is too dangerous to just have on hand at all, small concentrations are kinda okay, but it would be terrifically irresponsible to have some on stage. It's because.. b) It's fuming toxic, it's a very reactive acid which is not very safe to breath nearby even without a visible reaction, and that also results in that.. c) It smells, and you would be able to tell it's the acid easily d) Using metals as the reactants is suboptimal.. Well, it's a bit weird. HNO3 is so highly reactant that it isn't. It passivates a lot of common metals (including Iron and Aluminium) in concentrated form, and while diluted it does work with iron, it reacts slowly, it's not a flashy reaction. And actually you wouldn't want a flashy reaction because... e) The flashy reaction produces lots of NO2 a very toxic gas because of which we only do Nitrogen related experiments in the specialized ventilated conditions. f) Using organic material is also suboptimal, as nitric acid reacts with organic natter in a non-destructive way, it just makes stuff yellow most of the time, so you shouldn't really be using Nitric acid at all. g) It's hard to think of any acid that would really work as they pretty much all fume visibly, and it would be really obvious which one is acid. Chemistry is fun, but it's also not omnipotent. You could use NaOH (lye) instead, except the dissolving reactions happen real slow as well, but it would be demonstrative to have some other metal salt solution (like Al or Cu) to form a visible precipitate
